L3Harris to Support Canada’s National Security with Imaging Technology

MELBOURNE, Fla., May 26, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has received a contract from the Canadian Commercial Corporation to provide 16 WESCAM MX-20 surveillance and targeting systems to support the country’s P-8A aircraft. Operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force, the P-8A will conduct critical maritime and overland patrol and reconnaissance missions using WESCAM MX-Series systems. 

“Integrating our proven technology with the P-8A equips Canada with the most advanced ISR imaging solution,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager, Targeting and Sensor Systems, L3Harris. “Maritime and national security, including missions in the Arctic, require extremely reliable systems like the WESCAM MX-20 to enhance critical security coast-to-coast.”

The contract also marks the 8,000th WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR system delivered to customers globally. L3Harris’ WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR surveillance and targeting systems are active in over 87 countries, supporting missions across air, land and sea on more than 260 different platforms. The new contract with Canada builds on the 11 WESCAM MX-20 systems L3Harris announced last year for a new fleet of remotely piloted aircraft.
